The Surface Transportation Corporation was the bus-operating subsidiary of the Third Avenue Railway in New York City which operated under that name following the conversion of the streetcar lines in Manhattan and the Bronx to bus service between March 1941and August 1948. In 1956, the corporation was bought by New York City Omnibus Corporation as part of its acquisition of the Third Avenue Railway.
